Jackson Shed

Grand Prix Exhibition

Today the Jackson Shed has been restored to its 1930s appearance and houses a Grand Prix Exhibition celebrating Brooklands as the venue for the first ever British Grand Prix races in 1926 and 1927. The development of Grand Prix racing in Britain is represented in displays of historic cars, photographs, costume and memorabilia from the 1920s and '30s up to the present day.

F1 Simulator

The Jackson Shed is also home to our new Formula 1 Simulator, on which you can drive the following cars on the Brooklands Outer Circuit, Campbell Circuit and Mountain Circuit:

The car in which you sit to operate the simulator is a genuine F1 car kindly loaned to us by McLaren. Please note that drivers must be taller than 1.5m and be able to enter & exit the car unaided (body weight needs to be taken on the arms and the foot well has restricted width).
